Are you sure the user's shell is listed in /etc/shells?

It isn't (I didn't know about this - just found it in the readme).
I use the shell supplied - gnome terminal (no reason to change). The
readme states that I could use 'ftp' as a shell.

So, this affects login? (Considering that it works as a standalone.)

I bet if you look, you are using /bin/bash as the shell for your
normal users. You can look in /etc/passwd to check. The shell is the
last thing on the line for each user. Using a shell like ftp or
nologin will prevent normal logins.
